ASP Sessions Being Cleared/Modified

Hi there,

I have a website using classic ASP and it currently uses a lot of session variables to keep track of what is being done on several pages.  At one point, I redirect my website to PayPal to process a payment and then get PayPal to redirect back to my website.  For some reason though, it appears that the session variables get cleared/modified when the redirection to my website occurs.  Is there any reason for this?  I need to ensure these variables stay in place in the browser until the user either logs out of my website or closes the browser.  Any suggestions??

Thank you,
- Christian

Are you using 'https' for the pages both before and after connecting to Paypal?

No, my website doesn't use HTTPS.  Is that clearing my sessions?
